Nice place to start walking in glasgow
Pros:

Was a nice stay in glasgow - and in the hotel. A lot of places to visit are in walking distance, not sure if there is also a bus to city center as i simply not looked, i just walked there. Also enough parking space at the side, so no need to stay direct at the street.

Cons:

Only part that is complicated for motorcycle drivers is the way to the parking space, the street is not in the best condition. But still possible to reach it, just need to drive slow and careful.

Excellent night stay for not much money!
Pros:

I was at the Ambassador Hotel for 1 night as a solo traveller, so I had a single room. The room was clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was lovely (much nicer than I was expecting for the price of the room).
The hotel also benefitted from free parking.
When i'm travelling to Glasgow again I will stay here again

Cons:

Nothing

Wenn wir mal wieder nach Glasgow kommen, dann übernachten wir dort wieder.
Pros:

Auf dem Parkplatz hinter dem Haus war unser Motorrad zwar frei zugänglich aber doch ziemlich versteckt, so dass wir ruhig schlafen konnten. Die Zufahrt ist extrem holprig, was man auch als Diebstahlsicherung werten kann.
Die Lage ist super. Einige tolle Restaurants kann man locker zu Fuß erreichen und der Botanische Garten ist direkt daneben.

Overall staff friendly, helpful, hospitable and welcoming
Pros:

Clean
Staff hospitable
Great Location has hidden gem! Botanical Gardens
Good feel to it the colours uplift the moods

Cons:

Toilet door old, hinges rusty and door not fit for space - it was as if it had just been placed for the day!!
How you can sell a room with that misalignment is hard to understand, it was also a safety hazard - quite worrying!
